XDA IIi Missing clock at the top right

Hi,
I'm upgrading my XDA IIi German ROM to English ROM from Pug with radio version 1.04.00. Right now, the clock at the top right doesn't come up. Do anyone have the same problem like this?
How to display the clock at the top right?
Please help.
Thanks

Missing clock
Yes, sad to say - my wife's machine is exactly the same. It appears on the today screen, but not the menu bar at the top. Sorry no answers, though my guess is that it probably appears somewhere in the registry.
Anyone?

I've upgrade only the Radio to ver 1.04 from Pug but not the external rom since the Ext Rom will overright all my external and country setting. With this i got all my original country setting and interface im happy with only upgrade my Radio.

The same (clock disappearing ) happened back in the days on my Magician, to solve it do the following: get yourself a registry editor (e.g. phm regedit, freeware on www.phm.lu) and go to the following key:
hklm\software\microsoft\shell
- add dword called "TBOpt" and give it value 3.. soft reset.
0 = no time or date
1 = time
2 = date
3 = both

Thanks Koskie,
I knew it must be a registry setting. I'll try it tonight.
Regards
David

Thanks Koskie
I try to open the website but it isn't working. I attach the software here. It works great.
Thanks

Just tried that on my 2i (O2 UK, not that the provider probably matters that much), set it to 3 (I've tried hexadecimal and decimal-type DWORD), soft resetted, and it's still not showing up on the top bar.

It works for me. Using O2 UK ROM.
Thanks Koksie. Great Advice!
Cheers!

Hello,
it works on my Wizzard (xda mini s) but the date is in bold therefore the last digit is not completely visible. Any idea how I could change the date to normal text style?
Thanks,
Klaus

This is all done inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\ - use PHM Registry Editor (freeware) or another reg editor to do all of this (Tweak2k2 will also do it, apparently). Remember: registry editing can mess up your phone if you do it wrong!
You may already have an entry called TBOpt, and it might just read "0" or "1" - delete it, and start over. The TBOpt entry should be set up as a BINARY string. I did this, and chose a number - 13 - and set the value to
13 00 00 00
This resulted in both the time and the date being visible. This was a start, but I needed more...
I changed the value to 01 00 00 00, rebooted, and bingo: only the clock appears.
02 00 00 00 shows only the date.
03 00 00 00 shows both, like 13 00 00 00, except where with 13 the time and date were centre-aligned, the time and date are now left-aligned.
04: nothing.
05: shows the time, in what looks to be a left-aligned manner, in bold.
06: shows the date, dd/mm/yy format.
07: date and time, regular font weight (i.e. not bold), date in dd/mm/yy and time in 24hr.
08: nothing.
...
I got bored by this point, as every new choice requires a soft reboot and a 30 second wait while the device powers up. If I had a genuine copy of Windows, I'd download the emulator and just try it with that from the MS web site, but... well... The last time "I" owned a legit copy of Windows, I was about 7, and my Dad bought me a computer.
Some options seem to do more than most, I'd hazard a guess and say that some of the 'options' tally with the various ways you can choose to have long and short times and dates shown by the system in the Regional Settings control panel applet. I love being able to switch between analogue and digital time display! (tap and hold on the time, it'll only work if you only have the time shown, otherwise it'll show just the day part of today's date).
Going back to the legal-copies-of-Windows-thing finally, I suppose technically I own two legal licenses for two unique copies of Windows Mobile 2003 SE, but that's another story (XDA number 1 locking up on boot, that was a clever error).
Hope this post helped.

For some reason my clock has changed to an analog clock. Its really ccrap cos you cant tell the time! how do i switch it back to digital again?
THanks for the help!

Thanks, just worked it out...

And for those who don't know, you tap and hold with the stylus on the clock to bring up the Analogue / Digital choice menu.
Also, might as well just note for the record that the reason the clock disappears on the XDA 2i is because of one of the customisation CABs O2 have put in their Extended ROM. If you do a Corporate Install (with the 0506 code, as I did the second time round) it doesn't install any of the O2 interface, nor does it install any of the customisation CABs - so bingo, you have a (pretty much) standard WM2003SE installation.
I used the O2 Contract GPRS and GSM settings CAB file from this forum (supplied by Pug) to just make sure that my SMS and GPRS settings were correct, but aside from that my installation was vanilla, thanks to the Corporate install. Also meant I had a clock on the top, which was a revelation for me then.
Just stating this because when I was first searching for the solution to this problem, I couldn't find any information as to why it was happening, or how to fix it... Just chanced upon it whilst doing my own Corp install so now it's set in stone for future newbies to read.

Sliding keyboard sound

Does anybody knows where the sounds of sliding keyboard being stored? I'd like to change them but don't find..

They're in the Windows DIR, example: 0_in.wav 0_out.wav

In the sliding keyboard settings it calls "wind chimes", "piano" and "xylophone". Do you think they're the same? How should I call the new one I'd like to use?

I'm sure you could replace the original .WAVs then select the corresponding name (windchimes etc) in the option (I haven't bothered to see which ones are which, but seeing as there are only 3 sets, it shouldn't take that long
WINDOWS\0_in.wav
WINDOWS\0_out.wav
WINDOWS\1_in.wav
WINDOWS\1_out.wav
WINDOWS\2_in.wav
WINDOWS\2_out.wav
There is most likely a way to install new ones... i have a feeling you have to 'buy' them from the MS site or something :S

how do i get the windows directory to show up while browsing on my computer?
also, what is the directory for the sounds used for receiving text messages? i think it is just system sounds but yeah.

To install new ones:
Using your favorite registry editor, drill down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SlidingSound.
You'll see a number of subkeys named 0, 1, 2, etc. Create a new subkey whose name is 1 greater than the last subkey.
In the subkey you just created, set the following values:
Default value -- set this to the name you want to appear in the sliding sound control panel.
in -- a string value containing the name of the wav file you want to play when the keyboard is being closed.
out -- a string value containing the name of the wav file you want to play when the keyboard is being opened.
Close the registry editor
Copy the wav files referenced above into the Windows directory.

Great! Thank you!

Teeter Game

Hi,
this game is quality...
I've finished the 32 levels of this game and i want MORE
Is it possible to add new levels to this game??
Are there any better sensor games out there?
Raf

No there are currently no gyro-driven games, but wait a few months-:
Steering a car, flying a plane all with Gsen support , like a mini-WII
Why not taking the advantage , now that you created a thread anyway, to post some scores , just for fun
Rule: Post your score after finishing your FIRST TIME finalized 32 levels.
I got a 21 min 35 sec with +18 attempts in total from which 7 were on a same level

unfortunately i didnt make a note of my score after completion and upgraded to a new ROM....

I don't know if you can add levels, but you can edit (and than distibute) them.
The levels are described in files 1.txt - 32.txt in de windows folder.
You can edit these (e.g. with Total Commander) to edit the levels.
The syntax is straight forward:
"B" with two params determines begin position.
"E" with two params determines end position.
"W" with four params determines walls.
"H" with two params determines holes.
See attached file for a new level (replacing the old 1st level)
Just replace the file in the windows folder (after making a backup of the original of coarse)

coolio
thanks for that

more games
i am not sure about this:
while cooking my ROM i discovered these files belonging the teeter:
\windows\1.txt, 2.txt, 3.txt, etc.
i think these are the chellenges. simple txt files
i think we could examine them and make new challenges.

Looser makes a new level
I'm waiting

Like the idea, but how do you replce the .txt file, as they're protected, and you can't edit the propeties.

How about adding a 33.txt, anybody know if that adds another level?

Did you try edit the properties in Total Commander ?
I'm not sure wether I changed them or not. But I was able to replace the file, and play this new level.

Yes - but whenever I change the attributes, it doesn't save and just reverts back to "read only".

mmh.. stange behaviour. In Total Command, you can File->Edit these files and save changes.
Maybe afterwards, you can make changes, at least I can.

Great - I was opening, editing, then saving, which doesn't work.
Going File, edit, save works a treat.
Nice level by the way!

I can confirm that just adding a 33.txt file to the windows directory does NOT add a 33rd level.

Can't see any point in adding more levels when you can alter the levels anyway.
It reminds me of changing the levels on jet Set Willy!!!!

So what are the setting for the later levels? With the uneven floors?
Can we perhaps have 2 instances of teeter
put it in its own folder, /teeter2/ or whatever, copy all the files across from the orginal version.
Then, edit the original files, so we have an all new version of the teeter game.
If someone can group all the needed files, graphics, txt files etc, il work on editing all 32 levels and producing a new version.

Including a line with :
Code:
D 0
Does the trick..

Has anyone got any further with this?
In the mean time I have found a way to have another 32 levels with editing anything.
Lye on your back and hold your diamond above you, screen towards you (of course).
Then try the 32 levels again. It is very difficult.
Pete

best thing would be to make a level-editor for the game
just drag the holes and walls and press export

[Q] Changing the date layout

At home screen, under the weather panel, as you know there's date. It looks as "Mon, Jan 3" , but I want it to look like "Monday, Jan(or full name January) 3 2011" . There's a tweak option in Advanced Config program, but it doesn't work (there are some different layouts in a drop down menu and a "change" button right beside it, you can choose the layout but change button is inactive). So, I think I expressed my request throughly, is it possible to do this? How?

What values do you have under:
HKLM\\nls\overrides\SLDte
HKLM\\nls\overrides\SSDte

Thanks mate, you're the only one who rushes to help me all the time. Before placing this topic, I found something about changing the date format (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5713475&postcount=9) , and applied them but nothing changed, it was about changing the values under the ones you mentioned. Now, answers to your question,
SLDte value = dd MMMM yyyy dddd (actually this wasn't the default one, it's the format I'd like)
SSDte value = dd / MMMM / yyyy dddd (same like above again, not the default one)

Try this:
HKLM\\nls\overrides\SLDte
dddd, dd MMMM yyyy

No, it didn't work. Still same format.

Normally, you can not change this format using the registry. At least, in WWE versions. It is most likely preset somewhere in binary files. In addition, using of customized date formats for SSDte or SLDte values may cause problems with HTC Calendar items (appointments, tasks and so on) as HTC Calendar only accepts particular formats. However, if you use localized version of Windows Mobile there may be more opportunities to tweak the phone's interface. I have seen some threads on the xda-developers site containing some tips and tricks on this topic.

Yes Janissl, you're right. Yesterday, after I made some change in SSD and SLD, I realized that SMS's dates began to look weird. So I changed it back to it's default value, now SMSs are normal. And I decided not to tweak this kinda registry things, since it could cause to force a hard reset.

Maybe you can do it safer by using ACT:

I already tried that at first hand, it had an extra settings as More Settings at menü, and there TouchFLO 3D settings. It looks like, you could do this date format there, but as I mentioned at my very first message, the "Change" button is unusable.

Can i get a little help please

OK so here are my problems please give their solution in comments
1. I editred my phonemanufactureemodelname and phone model name to RM-937 and Lumia 1520. Everything worked the keyboard got shorter,the settings got shorter. But the problem is that i can't get 5 shortcuts in my action centre
2. I edited the software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/control panel/themes/UserPreferenceWidth to 75 but still i cant get 5 shortcuts in action centre
3. Is their any hack to use my start button to wake up the phone..............
So here is the list of my problems. plz give a little help

Please set a useful subject line, first of all.
Beyond that, I don't know what's up with that. I changed nothing except the UserPreferenceWidth (on my HTC One M8) and it gave me the five buttons.
Actually, your problem is probably because you set the value in the wrong location. The correct location is (note the space in "Control Panel"):
Code:
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Path: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Theme
Value: UserPreferenceWidth

actuall I forgot to mention but yes i did the same thing
HKLM/software/Microsoft/windows/currentversion/control panel/theme
key-UserPreferenceWidth
what to do

Set its value to 75 or greater (DWORD)
